Chapter 2
An Uneventful Meeting
"Now, Aeris, you be good, alright?"
"Yes, mommy!"
Aeris smiled as the wind blew her chestnut hair around her face. She wiped a few strands away from her eyes and ran away from her mom. Well, she knew Elmyra wasn't really her mom. The planet had told her so. But, the woman who had raised her ever since she could remember felt like a mother to her, and Aeris always believed they were related in spirit.
The young girl waved to her mother and ran off towards the school. It was her first day, and all she could think about was the new people she would meet, and everything she would do. She was so excited that she missed the tear that fell down Elmyra's cheek, and was gone just as quickly.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Elmyra watched Aeris run in the school with both pride and trepidation. She knew that her daughter- and how strange, she thought, that after only five years she would consider someone's child her own. Anyway, she knew that Aeris would be alright, and make lots of friends. She was very personable, and every child in the vicinity of their house liked her.
Her worries lived deeper than that. Elmyra closed her eyes, recalling in detail the face of her husband, who had gone off to war years before. She had received no word from him in a while, and she was worried that perhaps the different terrain in Wutai was getting to him. After all, those people no doubt had different fighting styles than they did, and who knew how long it would be until the war was over? Win or lose, it didn't matter to her. She just wanted her husband back home.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Aeris had managed to sit still all throughout the day until it was recess. She eagerly looked around and caught sight of a boy standing in a corner by himself. Aeris frowned. Weren't they supposed to make new friends? That was what everyone had been telling her to do, wasn't it? Well then, what was he doing over there by himself?
She nodded her head once, and walked over to the corner with determination. That boy looked so sad for some reason, and she couldn't stand to see anyone sad. She just had to make him feel better.
Before she could get the chance, another girl stepped in front of her. She had been friends with Aeris for the entire day, so Aeris already thought of her kindly.
"Kinoko?" Aeris asked her thoughtfully. "What is it?"
Kinoko shook her head firmly and pointed at the boy in the corner. "You can't go talk to him, Aeris."
Aeris frowned. "Why not?"
"Because!"
"Because why?"
Kinoko stamped her foot. "Because he's weird."
Aeris looked back at the boy. He seemed normal enough, except for his silver hair. But, really, that was just cool, not weird. She turned back to her friend and asked, "What do you mean, weird?"
"He… he's got weird hair." Aeris blinked. Kinoko fumbled around, looking for something else to say, "Plus, you know, he's ignored everyone."
"Well, then, I'll have to try extra-super hard to be friends with him," Aeris said, and walked past a stuttering Kinoko.
Aeris continued across the room and stopped in front of the boy. He was taller than she was, but that wasn't weird, since he was probably older than she was, too. He had silver hair that went down to the middle of his back, and he was leaning against the wall.
"Hi," Aeris said.
The boy turned to look at her, and she gasped when she saw his green eyes for the first time. They were marvelously pure, and held something in them that instantly intrigued her. The planet started whispering things in her ear, things about this boy, but none of it made any sense. The planet never made sense to her, and she just shook her head.
The boy looked her up and down. His presence was somewhat intimidating, and he knew it. He figured if he just used that to his advantage, this girl would leave him alone.
...
The boy finally glared at the girl, willing her to go away. What was she doing, trying to make conversation with him? Didn't she know that he was different from all of them?
Aeris smiled and tried again. "My name's Aeris. What's yours?"
The boy's eyes narrowed. Now she was making introductions? What was she trying to do? It irritated him more than he would admit that she could be so friendly to a stranger. How could she trust people so easily? He would never trust anyone easily again, not after…
He shook his head and muttered absently, "Sephiroth."
Aeris' smile widened. "Sephiroth? That's a cool name!"
Sephiroth blinked, unaware that he had even responded to her. He frowned at her appraisal.
"A cool name?" he repeated.
Aeris nodded. "Yup."
A voice form the other side of the room called out, "Hey, Aeris! C'mere and see this!"
Aeris shouted back, "Coming!" She turned to go, then looked back at Sephiroth. "Do you wanna come too?"
He shook his head, and turned back around. Aeris shrugged and headed off to join her friends.
